Appreciate if you could amend the curriculum with the following FACTS since the banner has kept reverting back to the old changes after we tried to make the edits:
The School of Science and Technology, Singapore (SST) is a specialised independent (There's a difference between, govt, govt-aided, autonomous, independent and specialised independent) high-school (people may think we're a faculty in a university if it is not specified) institution established in Singapore in 2010
It is a subsidiary under Ngee Ann Polytechnic (NP) and with its parent organisation, Ministry of Education (MOE) (need to elaborate this as the announcement and the signing was done by the previous Minister for Education), SST targets university-bound students, regardless of their post-secondary and pre-university route. (If you read on Singapore's education system, we have 3 different routes that are bound for university. Unfortunately only the Junior College route is more popular than the other as the chances are higher. The polytechnic route is not as popular as the local universities admit only 15% of polytechnic graduates - do note that we are a subsidiary under a polytechnic so we do not want people to have a perception. The current writeup is quite deceiving) With a focus on applied learning and frequent uses of learning devices such as MacBook Pros[2][3] , it is the one of the only six schools (not the 6th school) involved in MOE and InfoComm Development Authority (IDA)'s (need to elaborate the ministry and statutory board in as there is another future programme initiative with another agency) FutureSchools@Singapore project.
On 3 Mar 2009, SST signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with NP and Nanyanag Technological University. (This is an important Milestone to SST which was removed by one of the editors.)
Year 1 and 2 students take the usual subjects including integrated humanities of either History and Geography, plus Infomation and Communications Technology (ICT), Innovation and Entrepreneurship (I & E) as well as Art, Design, Media & Technology (ADMT). (Note that we do not teach Literature unlike other mainstream schools, and included ICT and I & E as a core subject, which is not offered by mainstream schools at all. So please do not say that it is 'USUAL' as we offer a completely different curriculum)
Please also include the Vice Principals' names as they were involved in the planning and curriculum of the school.
Please also indicate that we are a single session as a good number of high schools in Singapore offers double sessions.
Talent Development Programme SST's Talent Development Programme is based on their 'Levels of Service' (LoS) Talent Development Model. The four levels of the LoS Development Framework measures the individual students' ability, expertise, motivation and talent. The students at the highest LoS will participate in additional programmes which include mentorships, advanced independent research or inquiry subjects and internships. (Our TDP is unique and the only one offered in Singapore. The students are not singled out before admission but are identified only after a year of studies unlike other specialised independent schools)
One of the editors deleted 'show choir' from our list of CCA programmes.
Our classrooms are not on the 4th and 5th floors. We have classrooms on EVERY floor. Please also indicate a note that they are air-conditioned. We are one of the few schools in Singapore with this advantage.

I'm confused. First we were asked to cite references, then we were asked to remove external links coz it made it look like an advertisement.--Lumcarol (talk) 01:21, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I have recently updated this page with new information sourced online, which is more accurate than the previous page. I have also removed promotional material, but for some reason User:The Banner reverted it to the original version, which I don't understand.
